Overview

About 2 Riverside

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Riverside is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Littlehampton (BN17 5DE). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2024) returns a high B (score 87), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in May 2024 the rating was G, the property has climbed 5 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 99). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 is 30.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£437/sq ft) was about 61.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
